​​​Oral Histories

The real record of history is found in the lives of the ordinary people who lived it. Collecting, preserving, and sharing oral histories not only transmits knowledge from one generation to the next, it enhanced our understanding of the past by illuminating personal experiences.

Collin County Oral Histories are currently located at the McKinney Public Library​. ​
